How q Truckman Was Provoked to the Use
Of Violent Language.
A big two-horse truck, loaded with cases of
dry goods, went rumbling down Broadway
at Eighth street yesterday afternoon. The
of wheels ran along smoothly in the groove
Of the outer street-car track, and the nigh
wheels thumped heavily on the cobble-
stones.
The driver of the truck sat contentedly on
the spring seat, swung his legs to and fro and
whistled merrily. In his blue-check jumper,
his red flannel shirt, his corduroy. trousers
and his cowhide boots, he seemed the incar-
nation Of happiness. So far as other drivers
the road. Noisy express wagons gave the
heavy wheels of his truck a wide berth, and
grocers' cart Stunned him as they would a
locomotive.
just below Eighth street he heard the
tinkle of q street car bell. He stopped
whistling long enough to pull out of the
racket, and then went on as before. He
glanced around in a moment to watch the
street car go by. There was no street car TO
be seen, but q coal wagon with q car bell
dangling from the end of the tongue went
drifting past. The driver of the coal wagon
winked one eve, shook himself with laughter
and said " Great scheme, amt IL"
The truckman stared in speechless amaze
happiness faded from his face as a cloud
floats across the sun. He shook his fists and
tore his hair, and said things that would have

his way smiling, nodding and chuckling to

The market this morning started off at a

that Richmond Terminal was worth fiat to

the Brooklyn Sessions Court this morning.
pending the continuance of his trial.
His wife reached the courtroom early and
for O while remained among the throng out
side the rail, but Just before the case was
called she walked over to her hus-
bands seat, kissed him and then
beckoned to their two tots Of chill
dren. The little ones came running over,
clambered on their fathers knee and in
dulged in all sorts of childish prattle.
They looked in wonder at the tear stained
mothers face. and finally trotted over to her
and childishly tried to pull away the hand
kerchief which covered her eyes.
Then the batch Of criminal cases which was
being disposed Of was finished, and Weidler
started to his chair, beside Counsel Catlin.
His wife preceded him, and he led the two
children by either hand. Again the little ones
nestled in the fathers arms, and the picture
grew quite dramatic, but Counsel Catlin
didn't like it, and he ordered the mother to
take the children away.
Gen. Catlin began the preliminary argu-
ment for the defense, based on Mrs. Weld
lef's claim Of assault made by the murdered
man, and which melted the crime. The case
will probably be given to the jury this
evening.

LOUISVILLE, Dec. 2.-The Nicholas Smith
Ovington matter is still the sole topic of dis
cussion in society circles here. Smith was at
first generally condemned, but the sentiment
has changed in his favor, and should Mr..
Ovington and his young bride pay the Bour-

find the social atmosphere somewhat frigid.
A fact heretofore unpublished is that a
rather tart correspondence passed between
Mr.. Faulds and 0yington in reference to
the return of Smiths wedding presents.
Mr.. Ovington's note TO Mrs. Fauld's return
ing the present was received by her husband,

that it was none of his business whether
the present was paid for or not, at the same
time giving his opinion of such an action.
To this Mr.. Ovington replied, apologizing

ABOUT DEEP FLOWING.
The Best Way of Fighting a Long Drought
Long Wet Spell.

In farming, as well as in dairying or
grazing, every thing depends on the
condition of the soil Here is the foun-
dation, and unless this is in proper con-
dition the substructure is bound to fall
A great deal has been said and written
as to the proper depth to pillow, and there
is such a difference of opinion among
farmers in regard to it the question is
still as far from being settled rs ever
We think, however, that the leading
cause for such difference of opinion may
be found in the land itself That good
crops are and can be grown on shallow
plowcd land that is good, no one will
deny, provided the season be neither too
wet nor too dry. e., with moderate
rains the whole season. In such a
season any one can grow good crops.
But such seasons are, and, in
fact, every season is likely to be
attended with u long drought or long
wet spell. Now what the farmer wants
is to guard against both, and the only
way to do it is to break up his land as
deeply as possible-say not less than
seven to ten inches. But how is this to
mend the matter? We answer, very
easily. In case of heavy rain larg,
portion of the water instead of running
off will be absorbed by the deeply dis
integrated land, where it is held us if
by sponge for the use of the plants,
and if drought should intervene there
is q supply of water just where the
plants want it, and when exhausted its
place is ut once supplied by capillary
attraction from below. 1t will thus be
seen that by deep blowing the farmer
provides against drought by having a
supply of water in reserve, or a place
ready to receive and hold it whenever
it comes. The better to insure this,
however, us well as to facilitate the
escape Of too much water, it is better
TO use n subsoil pillow and an additional
team. running the same Immediately
after the breaking pillow, and ripping
up the subsoil the desired depth. This
need not be done for every crop raised
on the land. but only once in every
three or four years.
1t has been well said that it is better
to have two acres of good land, one on
top of the other, than us many acres
alongside of each other, as it costs only
half as much TO tend them. The way
to do this is by deep blowing, and thus
double the depth of the soil, as well as
the crops grown thereon. Western

Sunshine in the Home.

Many child goes astray, not because

outslmply because home lacks sunshine.
A child needs smiles as much as flowers

is the place where faces are sour and
words harsh, and fault-finding is ever in
